not too long ago with peggy in an an. we were worried he was trying do too many different things. >> trying to do too many -- no, it was all genius. >> no. i felt -- >> yes, you were. >> i thought health care was the thing you had to push. i did not think cap and trade and climate were things you should do in the first year of what could have been a great recession. i felt that it was a time you needed to do health care and i do think he honed his focus in on that. i think it is a good thing. >> i don't think that the people are afraid they will lose their job and lose their health care. they are afraid they are going to lose their job. that's the emphasis. it is unemployment that's, high taxes and high spending and money. it is not the secondary issues. >> i was saying it is not either/or. it is not either i'm going to lose my job or health care. people are worried about both at the same time. and over and over, i keep reading about people who have lost their jobs and, thfr, lost that your health care. >> bob, you know,

"what i saw at the revolution." mel painter, a priceton university historian and author of "creating black americans: history of african-americans over the last 400 years." that was white a mouthful. peggy, when you were in the white house with ronald reagan, at the end of the first year i think people would have talked about optimism, confidence, things like that. what do you think people will say with this first year? >> i think this first year of obama, i think history will probably look back on it as an attempt to change the face of america in the world, which so far appears to be a good beginning, coupled with, i think, a serious domestic misstep with regard to focusing on certain issues that were not the great issues the american people were focused on when the great recession really sunk in. >> internationally, if i read your comment right, you've been quite supportive of his change of tone. >> yeah. i think it was needed. i think bringing a new face, literally and figuratively

host: this is peggy on the republican line. caller: after all, obama ran as a centrist. then he moved to a progressive agenda. a lot of the mandates and regulations of the big programs he still insists on continuing such as health care, cap and trade -- and even speaking about emigration -- a lot of mandates and taxes on business. at the same time he says he will give us tax rebates for business. do not forget the state government will also raise taxes because only 80% a population supports the 20% that are unemployed or under-employed. how can business flourish while the federal government imposes taxes and mandates? on the other side are the states which will be forced to raise taxes because of this environment. by the way, will they get more money this year to balance the budget? there will still be a need to balance budgets each year. guest: i think the caller is completely correct. i agree with the president that some type of tax on small businesses is necessary. you will not have any real job growth in america until these looming storm clouds of obamanomics are rem
